Do you think life was better in the past than it is now? Explain your reasons. Or, you can write about the good/bad things in the past and the good/bad things in the present.
Welcome! ^~^
In my opinion in the past was better. 15 years ago kids/teenagers met on the backyard, friend's house, drove on the bikes, played soccer, invented new games. In this time kids/teenagers don't have time feel boring. If was dark than everyone came back to home.
Now is worse. Many kids/teenagers are sitting at home- playing computer games and checking Internet. They are using Facebook or another application to communication with other without going out of the room.
For me more important is visual contact. If I said or did something wrong (is time say: Sorry/Please forgive me) or good than I see reaction my friend/s, cousin/s etc. ;]

In my opinion were many good/bad things in the past and is many good/bad things in the present.
I totally agree with Maggie. Life was more simple and kids were more creative to arrange their own free time, also kids had better manners than today :) Social communication looked totally different than today, but, in the other hand we have new technology. It gives a many, new opportunities ;)

Every time has good and bad things. Now we have more advances and technologies. They make things more easy but the negative side is now people are lazy and sedentary. Also machines replace people and many of them lost their jobs.At present time, scientists have found more cures for diseases. I think personal communication and interaction is lost. For me is the worst thing about new technologies.

It depends on topic. the past time's life was better because people was pacific, all things were natural and atmospheric profanation was less than at the actual time. Freedom and peace were granted to all. but in the distant past, people lacked good transportation, communication wasn't easy at long distances, meet with others cultures wasn't easy.
So by general way, past times were good to me because life was simple, natural and in its original state.

Hi!
I think in the past when I was childhood was a better time than now, because I could walk wherever I wanted, created many things by my hands, shared with my grandparents jokes, songs, opinions. Always I could meet with my friends leisurely. But now when I saw my son, he never have time, everything is about play games, computer. Also I feel scare when he need to go to the party or meeting with friends. Now is more insecurity on the street.

In the old days in my opinion there were good and bad thinks.
We lived them and we didn't noticed the difference, that was what we were used to .Waiting long time for a letter to be responded (now only we have to do is pick up a phone or a cellular and communicate) I saw young people dying because the cure were not available, a girl dying given birth to a child because the hospital was far away and was tradition to have the baby in the house even if it looked a complicated birth. Thank GOD lots thing are improved, better medical knowledge, easier transportation and communication. We might complaining about this times but they are BETTER!

I thing the life was better in the past than now about the good things. It was peaceful and wasn't too much violation or crimes. They liked to grow the crops in the farm. the parents were very stricter with their children. The most of times the kids spent with their parents. they learned a lot from their parent. The children were obeys to their parents. Some people used their horses as transportation. they liked to stay together and About the bad things in the past. It was very difficult for them to have better streets or roads as now. They didn't have a cell phone, a truck, or car as now. They couldn't use traffic light, washing machine, or dry. The most of times they washed their clothes on the hands. The women didn't wear short dress as now. It didn't have a lot of companies as now.

Life was very difficult in the past.There were not enough means to live in good conditions. People were suffering from many diseases and they couldn't buy medicines because simply these later doesn't exist at that time. They used plants and staff from nature to cure themselves.They grew their own food. Most of the time agriculture was not successful in the past because they didn't use any fertilizers or other things.As a result, they rely on weather conditions to have a good harvest.In addition, communication was very slow between people. They used to write letters.By contrast, people get all what they want from supermarkets in these days. Human beings invented many things which help them to live better and easier. Thanks to modern technology people go to see doctors in hospitals with modern equipment.Then, smart phones and social networks bridge distances and make contact easier. In brief, life becomes easier and better thanks to technology.
